ETFs and CCP clearing: On the right track
August 16, 2022--The global exchange traded fund (ETF) market has seen extraordinary growth since its inception almost 30 years ago, with the range of ETF products growing increasingly diverse and complex. In Europe, a high rate of settlement failures and general inefficiency in the market has meant there has been a drive to bring more ETF trades through central clearing, providing greater risk mitigation and operational efficiency.
But is enough being done to facilitate that switch? Chris Lemmon reports.
On 22 January 1993, State Street Global Advisors issued the first ever exchange traded fund (ETF)- the SPDR S&P 500, which tracked the performance of the popular US index. Following a relatively low-key start to life on the markets-opening with just $6.53 million in assets- the fund has seen tremendous growth in the last 10 years, topping $450 billion in assets under management in January this year.

IMF Staff Country Report-Italy: Selected Issues
August 1, 2022--PRODUCTIVITY IN ITALY: SCOPE FOR IMPROVEMENT1
This paper investigates the role of structural characteristics on Italy's labor productivity at the regional and sectoral levels. Productivity-enhancing structural factors are found be highly correlated, indicating that reforms are complementary and reinforcing. As a result, a concerted, multi-faceted reform program, as envisaged in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, would likely be most effective at raising productivity.
Improving structural characteristics beyond Italy's national frontier will be crucial to lift productivity towards the level of peer EU countries.
Two Decades of Weak Productivity: Regional and Sectoral Dimensions1.
Italy's productivity has been stagnant in recent decades. Real value added per worker declined by nearly 5 percent, while total factor productivity fell by 13½ percent during 2000-19. Together with the shrinking working-age population, potential growth has been low, and the economy has slowed markedly.
